The gas is stored in extremely cold tanks inside the suit, and is provided to the user through a breathing mask that covers over half of the alien's head. The backpack attached to a Grunt's back contains a [[methane tank]]. Attached to every Grunt's wrist is a readout (measured in Covenant [[units]]) of the amount of methane left in the Grunt's pack.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 272''</ref> When the tank gets low, a [[Atmosphere pit|resupply]] of methane must be found quickly or the Grunt will suffocate. The suit also displays the color of the Grunt's rank. The breathing mask of the Unggoy also makes speech difficult for them, as it muffles their words.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 55''</ref> | The gas is stored in extremely cold tanks inside the suit, and is provided to the user through a breathing mask that covers over half of the alien's head.

[[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] has altered the Unggoy combat harness. [[Unggoy Storm]]s have had the standard rebreather replaced with a nose-placed rebreather resembling the diving apparatuses used on [[Balaho]].<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' | [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] has altered the Unggoy combat harness.

In addition to its life support role, it is equipped with armor. This armor can withstand limited amounts of fire, especially from energy weapons. The [[M6D magnum]] is capable of easily cracking through the armor and is considered by some to be the standard weapon for such actions.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page ??''</ref> The armor piercing rounds of the [[MA5 series]] are also potent weapons against the harness.

As well as defending against projectiles and [[plasma]], it prevents a limited amount of fall damage to its user, like its [[Sangheili combat harness|Sangheili counterpart]]. Despite this, most variants are vastly inferior to the other types of armor adorned and used by the Covenant, no doubt due to the costs required to produce the suits for the extremely large population of Unggoy soldiers. Some variants are also equipped with helmets, [[active camouflage]], a methane-filled breathing apparatus, methane fueled thrusters, and even [[energy shielding]].<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||

There are two versions of the Unggoy ranger suit, both of which cover the entire Unggoy body and have hock-mitigators on the feet. The version with a more smooth surface is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, low-to-zero gravity, and other rigors found in the vacuum of space.

*There appears to be no visible way for the methane to reach the Grunt's mouth, since the mask and the air tank are completely unconnected. It has been theorized that the methane is transported to the mask through [[slipstream space|slipspace]], which has been hinted to be used in smaller Covenant devices such as in their weaponry.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref> | *There appears to be no visible way for the methane to reach the Grunt's mouth, since the mask and the air tank are completely unconnected.
